The hot pink 9 mm gun was confiscated, along with eight pink-tipped bullets that were loaded at the time. One was reportedly in the chamber.

The woman was heading to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport when she was arrested on a weapons charge.

TSA officials reminded passengers on Twitter that, despite a gun being “colorful,” it still is “not allowed past the TSA checkpoint.”

Hey lady, your hot pink gun may be colorful, but it's still not allowed past the @TSA checkpoint! Prohibited in pink! This loaded handgun and pink-tipped bullets were spotted in a carry-on bag at Richmond Int'l Airport yesterday. The result: the traveler was arrested. @Flack4RICpic.twitter.com/m7yK3fZj9F
